Summary
The documentation page exhibits a Windows bias in several ways. PowerShell is referenced as the default or primary object model for policy manipulation, and examples of modifying policies reference PowerShell objects first. File path examples use Windows-style backslashes (e.g., .\OSSPolicy.json), and there is no mention of Linux-specific tools or shell environments beyond generic Bash variable assignment. The guidance for editing policy files is written from a Windows perspective, with no explicit Linux or cross-platform file handling examples. There are no Linux-specific command-line examples, nor are Linux shell scripting patterns (such as sed, jq, or typical Linux file paths) demonstrated.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux/Unix shell examples alongside PowerShell, especially for file manipulation and scripting (e.g., show how to edit JSON files using jq or sed).
  • Use platform-neutral file paths (e.g., ./OSSPolicy.json) or explicitly show both Windows and Linux path conventions.
  • Clarify that the Azure CLI commands work identically on Linux, macOS, and Windows, and provide sample scripts for Bash/zsh.
  • Avoid referencing PowerShell objects as the default or primary model; instead, present Azure CLI and REST API approaches as platform-neutral.
  • Add a section or callouts for Linux users, including tips for scripting, file handling, and troubleshooting in Linux environments.
